Why Jesus drove out the animal traders from God's Temple
What early church writers said about this issue:
Clement wrote, "It is far better to be happy than to have your bodies act as graveyards for animals.
The Apostle Matthew partook of seeds, nuts and vegetables, without flesh".
Of the earliest Christian documents is, Clementine Homiles', a second-century work based on the teachings of St. Peter. Homily XII states, "The unnatural eating of flesh meats is as polluting as the heathen worship of devils, with its sacrifices and its impure feasts, through participation in it a man becomes a fellow eater with devils".
Many monasteries in ancient times to the present practiced vegetarianism.
Clement of Alexandria
Sacrifices were invented by men to be a pretext for eating flesh.
James
James, the brother of the Lord was holy from his mothers womb; and he drank no wine nor strong drink, nor did he eat flesh. Hegesippus, quoted in The Church History of Eusebius, book 2, chapter 23.
Regenstein
Says that nowhere in the New Testament is Jesus depicted as eating Flesh and "if the Last Supper was a Passover meal, there is, no mention of the Pass Over Lamb Dish".
Saint Augustine
Says: Jacobus, the brother of Jesus, lived of seeds and vegetables and did not accept meat or wine.
Saint Basil
The steam of meat meals darkens the spirit. One can hardly have virtue if one enjoys meat meals and feasts. In the earthly paradise, no one sacrificed animals, and no one ate meat.
St Francis of Assisi
All things of creation are children of the Father and thus brothers of man, God wants us to help animals, if they need help. Every creature in distress has the same right to be protected.
Saint Jerome
The eating of meat was unknown up to the big flood, but since the flood they have the strings and stinking juices of animal meat into our mouths, just as they threw in front of the grumbling sensual people in the desert. Jesus Christ, who appeared when the time had been fulfilled, has again joined the end with the beginning, so that it is no longer allowed for us to eat animal meat.
John the Baptist ate carob not the locust insect

Romans 14
1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
Mark 14:12Abraham served meat to the angels.
How do you excuse the FACT that the prophets and Jesus and His disciples followed God's intent for Man concerning eating meat?Romans 14

2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
